Do they need to be the majority or plurality population of a country to have a deep connection?How much detail does a setting need about a species for there to be a deep connection? Does it make a difference if the setting is largely a gazetteer-style guide like Greyhawk vs a more detailed one? A less defined setting like a gazetteer-based one rather than a more detailed one is going to leave a lot to the DM to define - is it then enough to know that gnomes/halflings live in a general area and they should define the specific community? Or should we expect more from the publisher?And even in a gazetteer-style setting like the Greyhawk boxed set (1983), we have some detail. Is it enough to know that the Flinty Hills of Greyhawk have significant gnome and halfling populations and that both groups participated in the Hateful Wars that drove goblins and orcs from the Lortmil Mountains? Or that the gnomes of the Kron Hills mobilized to defeat help the Horde of Elemental Evil? Or that some 4000 gnomes live in the Viscounty of Verbobonc, 7000 in the Archclericy of Veluna? How much more do you need? And what kind of detail?What is it about a setting like Greyhawk that would suggest dwarves and elves are deeply connected while gnomes and halflings are not? Specific heads of state?</blockquote>
